During the holidays at Christmas time
I saw ads where you could buy a star
So I thought about if for awhile
And figured I was finally ready
Its a big step in a mans life
To get his first star
So I placed my order and waited
Everyday I checked outside my door
Then one day an envelope came
And inside it said you now own:
Star # BEZ267889
Nebula Gargatua X12 Galaxy
Needless to say I was pissed off
So I sent them an e-mail inquiry
They said ah but you do own it
Which of course is not true at all
All I have is a piece of paper
I want my star damn it
SOB's
I want my star

Hm.

Well.

?

finding words...this is just...you can do better?

Yes...this reads like a rant. Having read other of your pieces this is...less.

My opinion - shape it...remove the petulant note, the childish tone and turn it into something more because it's quite a cool concept...

I rather enjoyed the ironic cynicism in this. The question raised in my mind though was: How did the sellers come to own it in the first place?
